I specialize in helping deep thinkers, introverts, empaths, “over—thinkers,” Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs), and all manner of intellectual or philosophical types who want a therapist who can truly meet them in their depth, understand the nuance of who they are, and help them get to the true roots of their concerns.

Specialty populations:

  • deep thinkers

  • introverts

  • “over-thinkers”

Specialty topics:

  • understanding your personality, gifts, and strengths on a deeper level (e.g., “I’ve always been this way, is this normal? Sometimes people say __ about me, is that something I should change, or is it just who I am?” These are common questions people have about themselves, especially any aspect of their personality that isn’t the “norm” in their family, place they grew up, religious or other beliefs they grew up with, social media or wider culture, etc.)

  • understanding relationship dynamics (e.g., “Why does this pattern keep happening with my family? Why do I feel this way with my boss, my team, my co-workers? Why do I keep finding myself in this situation in friendships, relationships?”)

  • anxiety, especially as it shows up for introverts/deep thinkers (e.g., are you “socially anxious,” or are you feeling pressured to meet societal expectations that don’t match your authentic identity/self-expression?)

  • communication skills (e.g., getting into the nuance of skillful communication of emotions, intentions, boundaries, etc. How to communicate for the best chance of positive outcomes, how to navigate delicate emotional situations or power dynamics, etc.)

  • understanding how your childhood shaped you, and how to heal (e.g., “Why does this family member trigger me so much when they do __? Why am I still mad about this, how can I let it go? Is it me or them who has the problem? If they won’t change, what can I do about it? How can I move forward? Will this affect me forever?”)

 NEED TO KNOW

My session rate is $125 a session. Sessions last between 45-50 minutes.

Deep Thinker Therapy PLLC is a “private pay only” therapy practice. This means I am not paneled with any insurance providers, and I do not provide superbills for out-of-network coverage.

The cost of your therapy is therefore simple and predictable. I will keep your payment method on file, and it will be charged overnight after the session has taken place.

Length of therapy (number of sessions) will depend on a number of factors, including the goals for therapy, the nature of your presenting concerns, and your own preferences for how much time and money you wish to invest in therapy at this time. I will do my best as a provider to give you an idea of what could be accomplished in a short-term versus long-term therapy commitment, based on your situation and goals. Ultimately the length of therapy necessary for specific results cannot be guaranteed. It is an ongoing process between client and therapist to re-visit goals, progress, and how long therapy will last.

24-Hour Cancellation policy: Sessions cancelled less than 24 hours before the scheduled time will be charged the full session fee. If you cancel with at least 24 hours’ notice, you will not be charged.

My biggest reason for choosing to be private pay only, not in-network and not an out-of-network provider, is to give us the utmost freedom in your therapy experience. With no insurance involvement, we are under no pressure to fit your experience into a mental health diagnosis within the medical model. We are free to discuss your concerns, as you experience them, with no pressure for you to disclose any details about your life before you are ready. We are free to make a plan for therapy that addresses your unique goals and fits the experience you would like to have, without the possibility of insurance companies coming around to audit your therapy records and judge whether your diagnosis + treatment was adequate for reimbursement or not.
